Answer:

  (a)  1024 ways

  (b)  243 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

When answers are independent, the total number of ways all questions can be answered is the product of the number of ways each question can be answered.

__

<h3>(a)</h3>

The first question can have one answer 4 ways. The second question can be answered 4 ways for each of the ways the first question was answered. That is, the two questions can be answered 4×4 = 16 ways. Similarly, each additional question multiplies the number of ways the questions can be answered by 4.

The 5 questions can be answered 4×4×4×4×4 = 4^5 = 1024 ways.

__

<h3>(b)</h3>

There are 3 ways to answer the first question incorrectly. Each additional question can be answered incorrectly 3 ways for each of the ways previous questions were answered. The total number of ways all questions can be answered incorrectly is ...

  3^5 = 243

A student can answer all questions wrong in 243 different ways.

I need help on number 18
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Volume = 35185.8 km^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the formula for the volume of a cone: Volume = \pi  R^{2}  \frac{h}{3}

Where R is the radius of the cone's circular base (in your case half of 80 km,(that is 40 km)

And h stands for the height of the cone (in your case 21 km)

We replace such in the formula and calculate its final value:

Volume = \pi 40^{2} \frac{21}{3} = \pi  1600 \frac{21}{3} = \pi 1600 (7) = 35185.83772...

We round it to the number of decimals your problem request (let's say to one decimal) and also include the cubic units:

Volume = 35185.8 km^{3}
